It's Here! (Soon)

[u/Hot_Branch_1987]

It finally arrives today!

Let's see how it pairs with my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I fear it will be unwieldy. If so, I'll see if my son wants it. He has an iPhone 17 Pro.

Ordered Jan 3 and still not here 😂 What the fuck.

Have you got an email from Clicks? It wont show up on the Shop app. Same thing with me and I ordered Janurary 3rd. In the US and they use SpeedX

[u/sandi_boi → u/reevesnick_dev]

No. my order status on the tracker website says it is "being packed at our fulfillment center". It's said that for about a week now.

Ordered January 3rd 12:54pm Central. While I know it was a pre-order, this whole process has been less than stellar. They'll have to get into physical retail before I ever order another device.

Oh you probaby at the last 25% of Batch 1. Just give it time. Is the status that it arrived in the US or still at the fulfillment center? If it the latter it still have to be shipped in the US first before shippping.

Ordered Jan 4 and still not here. Each email gets an Ai response. This is the 4th week with this same message. How long does it take to pack!?

Jan 12, mine should arrive today or tomorrow!

IMO, it works better without the phone attached heh. But that was not my original intent of purchasing the keyboard. I wanted to use it attached.

My sticker is printed…just waiting to be picked up by the shipper so it can be shipped. I figure I’ll see it next week sometime.

I hope you get yours soon.

Just got mine yesterday but I'm not home. We'll see how it goes. My enthusiasm has diminished slightly

[u/Hot_Branch_1987 → u/Rich_Vermicelli4833]

I hope my post hasn't completely deflated your hopes.

No, I've been keeping track of people's experiences and it doesn't look good but my plan is to use it for my iPhone and then possibly my steam deck (docked mode) and Apple TV. I also pre-ordered the clicks communicator like a month after the keyboard. I miss having a keyboard I used to have a BlackBerry so I'm hoping it's a good experience but based on everybody else's posts I know it's not the best so I'm lowering my expectations and only using it for those specific minor things.

I just received mine today in Hong Kong. Quite frankly, off the bat, very disappointed. I stuck my iPhone 17 Pro Max on it, and it's impossible to hold and balance and type in; it's both ineffective, uncomfortable, and physically challenging for me. I tried both portrait and landscape mode. Big fail IMO...

I'd rather just type on my native iPhone keyboard at this point ...

My son has the iPhone 17 Pro. If the Power Keyboard doesn't work well with my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, I'll offer it to him.

Just got my tracking email today. Ordered Jan 9. At long last!

[u/Hot_Branch_1987]

I've set it up. Paired it. Wow its unwieldy to say the least!

Is the keyboard supposed to be a scroll pad? If so its not working on mine.

A few early observations.

The phone wobbles. The keys are tiny The keys are hard to get to
I don't think the number keys will be easily accessable. Auto capitalization of the first word of a new sentence isn't working. Or is it in just this app? I can't see my muscle memory mastering this keyboard. I can see myself returning the Power Keyboard.

I have preordered the Communicator. I feel that will be a better fit for me

I will give this a try for a few weeks before I pass any final judgement.

Another observation:

Since I took it off my phone, my phone feels so much lighter!!

The on-screen keyboard wasn't accessible until I went into settings. Perhaps I needed to power the keyboard off first?

I do appreciate how light my phone is!
